The weather has been nice this past week. You forget how nice it is not to mess with coats before going outside. I think one of the few Easters I remember where there is not snow on the ground. Will make egg hunting fun. The boys have requested an egg hunt, an all over the house egg hunt!

We have been blessed once again with some very, very nice furniture that has been handed down to us. One of Jose's clients was upgrading their entertainment center so that they TV would raise up out of the console. So, they gave us their cast offs, which between the entertainment center and bookcase probably run close to $1,800. (There are some other pieces we are getting and going to sell....) So, this motivated me to spend a day this past week steam cleaning our current couches. In the 14 years we have had the furniture, I never once thought to take the cushion covers off and wash them. Brilliant idea! It is like we have nice furniture again - it matches our really, really nice furniture.

While JB was at therapy yesterday, I ran across a busy 5 lane street to the hardware store. I went to one aisle, got what I needed and ran back across the street. I got back and could not find my keys...anywhere. I spent 2 hours searching. I called a friend who came to help me. We made several trips back to the hardware store. One of the men who worked their grabbed one of their 'for rent' metal detectors and helped us look for 25 minutes. I had to cross a small culvert and there was lots of tall dead grass. I could not find the keys anywhere. They had just disappeared. I had a set at home, had extra keys made. Once I got home, I had the thought (from God as I had told Him many times He knew where my keys were)of a place in the car to look. I tore up the car before hand and was convinced they were not in the car. Sure enough, the one place, and very logical place, I did not look, was the cup holder of the car. They were found. At least it was a beautiful day and we met a really nice man at the hardware store. Only in Montana will they come out and help you look for your keys.

The boys have started a new routine. They enjoy taking showers, so have decided they want to take one in the morning. I set the alarm and Jbird bounds out of bed and straight for the shower. B is a little more slow moving, but they both climb in and just sit at they wake up. The big plus for me is that their hair is already wet and much easier to deal with than dry bed head. B has decided to let his hair grow out and he has some course hair.

Not a lot of plans this weekend. Going to find a community Easter egg hunt and then play cards Saturday afternoon. No Easter dinner plans - probably just treat everyone to a pizza as we celebrate our Lord's resurrection. Without the resurrection, where would we be? Enjoy a blessed Easter.
